Grommeted Panel

The edges of these panels are sewn with heavy-duty reinforcing tape. Brass grommets are installed on approx. 2' centers around the perimeter. Often includes a seam where two pieces of shade have been sewn together. Durable, easy to install with ropes, bungees or wire. Most durable solution for smaller areas where shade will be suspended between four points. Grommeted panels are sold in pre-cut sizes or can be ordered in any custom size.

Precut Panel

A raw piece of shade fabric where edges of panel are not reinforced with any tape or grommets. Would not typically have a seam but may have a raw (cut) edge. Can be installed with wiggle wire, shade cloth clips or wooden lath. Precut Panels are sold in pre-cut sizes or can be ordered in any custom size.

Bulk (currently viewing)

Sold in factory widths by the linear foot. Would only rarely have a seam and sides typically include a factory finished (uncut) edge. Most cost effective solution for large quantities of shade fabric.

ChromatiNet Red is designed to optimize plant growth by modifying light quality. It reduces the spectrum of blue, green, and yellow light while increasing the red and far-red spectrum, which are key wavelengths for promoting rapid plant development and enhancing physiological responses. Ideal for growers looking to accelerate growth, this shade cloth supports early flowering without compromising flower quality and helps increase foliage volume in a wide range of plants, including houseplants, decorative branches, non-flowering herbs, and various nursery and field crops. It also aids in root system development, especially in shoots and tissue culture plantlets.

Constructed from lightweight, flexible, and durable material, the cloth is UV-resistant, easy to install, and fully recyclable, making it both effective and environmentally responsible.

Hanging Instructions

When hanging shade cloth pieces larger than 100 sq. ft., you may need extra center support to prevent the cloth from sagging in the middle. One easy way to do this is by running lightweight cable from corner to opposite corner, forming an X pattern that the cloth can rest on. For pieces larger than 400 sq. ft., you may need cables running end to end every 4' or so.
